"... Multimedia communication involving digital audio and/or digital video has rather strict delay requirements. A real-time channel is defined in this paper as a simplex connection between a source and a destination characterized by parameters representing the performance requirements of the client. A r ..."

real-time service is capable of creating realtime channels on demand and guaranteeing their performance. These guarantees often take the form of lower bounds on the bandwidthallocated to a channel and upper bounds on the delays to be experienced by a packet on the channel. In this paper

"... Theory and experiments show that as the per-flow product of bandwidth and latency increases, TCP becomes inefficient and prone to instability, regardless of the queuing scheme. This failing becomes increasingly important as the Internet evolves to incorporate very high-bandwidth optical links and mo ..."

The “allocatedcapacity” framework—extensions to the Internet protocols and algorithms—can allocate bandwidth to different users in a controlled and predictable ..."

"... This paper examines the performance of TCP/IP, the Internet data transport protocol, over Wide Area Networks (WANs) in which data traffic could coexist with real-time traffic such as voice and video. Specifically, we attempt to develop a basic understanding, using analysis and simulation, of the pro ..."

, of the properties of TCP/IP in a regime where (1) the bandwidth-delay product of the network is high compared to the buffering in the network, and (2) there may be transient congestion due to fluctuations in real-time traffic, modeled here as producing random losses among the packets of the TCP connection

"... Interact hosting centers serve multiple service sites from a common hardware base. This paper presents the design and implementation of an architecture for resource management in a hosting center op-erating system, with an emphasis on energy as a driving resource management issue for large server cl ..."

A greedy resourceallocation algorithm adjusts resource prices to balance supply and demand, allocatingresources to their most efficient use. A reconfigurable server switching infrastructure directs request traffic to the servers assigned to each

"... We study the problem of media access control in the novel regime of sensor networks, where unique application behavior and tight constraints in computation power, storage, energy resources, and radio technology have shaped this design space to be very different from that found in traditional mobile ..."

computing regime. Media access control in sensor networks must not only be energy efficient but should also allow fair bandwidthallocation to the infrastructure for all nodes in a multihop network. We propose an adaptive rate control mechanism aiming to support these two goals and find that such ascheme
